Today’s Terrorist Attacks

Today’s Terrorist Attacks

A day after US President George Bush expressed his confidence in the creation of a palestinian state, palestinian terrorists expressed their confidence that terrorism will gain them even more concessions. Two Israeli security guards were shot dead overnight Friday in a shooting attack at the Nitzanei Shalom industrial zone, near the West Bank city of [...]

Spoiling the Broth

Spoiling the Broth

Who would have thought that employing palestinians in a restaurant was a recipe for disaster? The thwarting of an alarming terror plot was cleared for publication on Thursday, almost three weeks after a joint Shin Bet and police operation led to the arrest of two Palestinian employees of the ‘Grill Express’ restaurant in Ramat Gan. [...]

Hamas’ Fake Martyr Scam

Palestine Press Agency reports that one of the “martyrs” that Hamas claimed to have been killed during Wednesday morning’s murder of an IDF soldier was in fact killed in internal Fatah/Hamas clashes, and Hamas brought his body to the area to claim that Israel killed him: (autotranslated): [Hamas'] Qassam Brigades announced in a press conference [...]

Today’s Terror Attack: An Exercise in Cynical Exploitation

Another day, another terror attack in Israel, with palestinian terrorists killing two Israeli men at the Nahal Oz fuel terminal in the central Gaza Strip. Two Israeli civilians were shot dead Wednesday afternoon when four Palestinian terrorists infiltrated from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel. Two other Israelis were wounded in the attack at the [...]

Bizarro World: Hamas Pretends Not to Target Children

In one of the more bizarre sideshows ever seen in the Middle East, last week Al-Qaeda leader Ayman Zawahiri scolded Hamas for shooting at Israel “with the blessed Qassam rockets which don’t differentiate between a child and an adult, and moreover, perhaps [don’t differentiate] between the Jews and the Arabs and Muslims working in those [...]

Attacking the Wrong Guys

A near fatal terrorist attack was averted today, thanks to the quick thinking of one of the targeted victims…and the bad judgment of the terrorist, who learned the hard way that in a game of Rock Scissors Paper Knife Gun, gun usually wins. An Israeli hitchhiker shot dead a knife-wielding Palestinian in the West Bank [...]

Terror Attack: Rabbi Stabbed

While the media spent time reporting the supposed danger of Rabbis and their religious students plotting revenge after the brutal Merkaz HaRav yeshiva attack (since found to be baseless), the real danger continues. A Palestinian stabbed a Haredi rabbi in the neck in Arab East Jerusalem on Tuesday, but medical workers said his wounds were [...]

“Galilee Freedom Batallions” and the 1974 PLO “Phased Plan”

The previously unknown group that claimed responsibility for the Mercaz HaRav massacre calls itself the “Galilee Freedom Battalions-the Martyrs of Imad Mughniyeh.” Many people commented on the second half of their title, wondering if it was a front group for Hezbollah. We should be more concerned about the first half. In 1974, the PLO established [...]

Blaming the Victims

David Bogner points out how the ardent supporters of our enemies are spinning the premeditated murder of the 8 young yeshiva students last week: by stripping the victims of their presumed innocence. What I call the “but” construct. David then provides the following example from this blogger: There can be no justification for the murder [...]

Kuwaiti Paper Denounces Yeshiva Terror Attack

Another airborne bacon moment with a Kuwait newspaper publishing a harsh criticism of Thursday’s terror attack at Mercaz Harav Yeshiva. A Kuwaiti newspaper on Tuesday published unprecedentedly harsh criticism of the terror attack which killed eight students at Mercaz Harav Yeshiva. “The attack at the yeshiva was a barbaric murder of eight children who were [...]
